Fireflies (CHORDS) by Indus Creed

[Intro]~
C    G D C    G D G


[Verse 1]~
Em            G
grim tales by fairy lights

D                  Am
we sat mesmerised,, mesmerised

G     Am  G
dancing iridescence

D                 Am         C G Am
in your eyes like fireflies

C               G
partners in devilment

D                   Am
we grabbed each day,, unafraid

Em                    G
but the cold hands of consequence

D                        Em          Am
broke the spell and wrecked the game


[Chorus]~
C           Bm    G   D     Am
oh,, the sun went down today

C           G         D   Am
for reasons you wont say

C       G          D
and I just cant look away

Am
from those fireflies


[Interlude]~
C  G  D Am C G D Am


[Verse 2]~
C            G
naked rage or self-defense

D                   Am
will we ever know,, who'll let go

G
no remorse or penitence

D                 Am
can save the raft from the undertow


[Chorus]~
C           Bm    G   D     Am
oh,, the sun went out today

C           G         D   Am
and the colours burned into gray

C       G          D
but I just can't look away

Am
from those hurting eyes


[Interlude]~
C  G  D Am C G D Am C G D Em C G D Am


[Verse 3]~
C        Bm       D
we hurt,, we grieve(how could we imagine this would be)

Am      D
we dont concede

Em        Bm
we hide,, we blame(we believed that the world would stay the same)

D             Am              C   G  C
our illusions wont efface the pain

D
it remains


[Chorus]~
C       G         D    Am
the sun went out today

C            G        D Am
for reasons I cant say

       C   Bm  G            D
and the colours died in the pale

Am  C            G       D   Am
oh,, the sun went out today

C               G    D   Am   C    Em
and I just cant look away from those fireflies


[Outro]~
Am        Em
tales and satellites

G
all that remain
turn back the day
